I don't know whether the BLM and Occupy crowd is just better at burning things down (estimates as high as 20 million dollars worth of damage in Ferguson and Baltimore) than the KKK or if there are just more of them.
According to an ADL report, the Ku Klux Klan movement in the United States consists of 42 active Klan groups in 33 states, a slight increase from early 2016's data. The report also found that most groups have less than 25 active members and many of the largest groups have around 50-100 members.
BLM justifies their rioting as follows:
Black Lives Matter’s most prominent leader DeRay Mckesson told UPROXX that the violent actions of the movement’s rioters are justified, since "people take to the streets as a last resort."
"So when I think about anything that happens when people are in the street, I always start by saying, ‘People should not have had to have been there in the first place,'" stated Mckesson.
Specifically prefacing her question with the recent violent and racist rioting in Milwaukee, which she referred to euphemistically as "recent Milwaukee unrest," UPROXX interviewer Kimberly Ricci asked if Mckesson was bothered by the term "riot," as he was apparently partial to the term "protest."
Since many Black Lives Matter’s "peaceful protests" have undeniably turned into vicious riots, where arson, physical violence and chants of death to cops have become staples, Mckesson decided that his best response was to justify the rioters, instead of simply disavowing them and their reprehensible acts.
